Today in Reception we began to look into Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 launch. The children really loved seeing the videos of the rocket launch (please see the videos below if you would like to watch them at home). We talked about how the astronauts may have been feeling about the laugh and journey to space and linked this to how we are feeling about the move to year 1. The children came up with: nervous, excited, shy, worried and happy. We then went on to discuss what they would need to pack to take on their journey to year one: Good behaviour, friends, food and brains for hard work.
